Did you know?

You might already have seen this... but if you haven't, take 5 minutes to watch it. It puts things in perspective.

drop.io

I'm constantly looking for a way to streamline archiving/sharing system of information. This service drop.io caught my eyes. I think it has a potential. Check out their demo video. It's like a twitter meets basecamp.

Minimalistic public trash can

Different types of trash goes into the special colored trash bag that is held by a matching colored structure. That's a system!

Future web browser scenario

"Aurora is a concept video presenting one possible future user experience for the Web, created by Adaptive Path as part of the Mozilla Labs concept browser series." We like concept prototype that shares just enough information to get us imagining what the future holds. This first concept Aurora seemed little bit complicated for me by viewing the video.  However, I am looking forward to their browser concept series to see some other concepts. Maybe there would be simpler more intuitive user experience? different settings for scenario?

meebo.com: if you could chat with people behind the blog...

Our friend sent us a link to meebo (Thanks Candice:) Idea is very simple. Website/blog author can embed chat windows on their site by creating an account with meebo.com. Now when visitors come to the website, they can engage the real-time conversation with the authors. It's an indication that the distance between authors and readers is getting shorter and shorter in the era of conversation.

Twitter + Barack Obama

Obama Barack's openness to engage people in his campaign using web 2.0 has been talked about for a while. I was told by my friend that I can "follow" Obama on twitter. First when I chose to "follow" him, he requested to "follow" me as well. All the sudden the channel has been opened both ways. I get updates from him few times a week and I could send 140 word messages to him. Okay... it's sort of nice. But since he doesn't post anything personal, if you read newspaper, watch TV... the information is available. That's what I thought until today. This morning I got an update from him saying, "Made an important decision today and wanted to share it with you. Visit link".

twitter movie

Thought the presentation style is clever. Looks like it's possible to mock something like this very very quickly. Also wondering... if we should give another try to twitter.
